Wasps in the Ministers Pocket.

A ST Paul clergyman found himself in
nearly as embarrassing position as the
New Hamshire parson when last sunday
he appeared in the pulpit, wearing pair

LHy and clumsy-looking as the ele-

it is merely an object of curiosity, in Asia

quote the following as illustrating the re-
lations between employer and employed.
The relations between the employer
and the employees on . sugar estate are
unique. They are the nearest approach
in America to the feulal system. Not a
foot of land do the laborers own. Yet
their right to homes and labor on the
estate Is a sort of unwritten law, 80 bind
ing that they are seldom sent away ex-
cept for very serious cause. They regard
mules and impliments Of the planter as
to some extent their own. using them N
cultivate their gardens and to haul their
fuel. In directing the plantation work
he seldom uses any harsh words Of com
nand talks rather in kindly tones,
scolds little if needs be, bur in a rather
parental fashion uses opinions at times.
